Execution flexibility: setting up the buy side desk to make smarter decisions

Over the many digital sessions hosted in the last few months with FX traders from a range of buy side firms, members have reported that working remotely has changed the way they think about execution.

Informed by on-the-record interviews and roundtable discussion summaries  hosted under Chatham House Rule, this report specifically looks at:

  • The collective shift in how the buy side are trading
  • Advice for picking the most effective tool from the box
  • Hedge funds and corporates v real money asset managers: the similarities as well as differences
  • Execution flexibility in emerging markets
